I remember those 5 games in 2012 and Benny was just running through massive holes. Hill actually created some of his big gainers by juking and outrunning defenders.

Not sure what happened last year, but he looked tentative and slow to hit holes...when there was one. Fwiw, after a couple big games early, Gio averaged around 3.5 YPC over the last 7 games. So I agree with Holic that run blocking may be an issue again, as it has been for most of the last decade.

To the OP - Despite the down year, you can't knock the kid's spirit. He loves the Bengals.

He also didn't seem interested in trying to break tackles and went down very easily.

Hill Average Yards After Contact..
2014: 2.29 (4th among RB)
2015: 1.46 (43rd among RB)
(Gio 2015: 1.9)

Not exactly sure what was wrong, and as I said before, sure hope he gets it right. Just significantly less confident him him coming into 2016 than I was 2015. Tempering expectations quite a bit.
